NEW YORK — Just two weeks ago, the New York Islanders were rolling right along.

They won six of seven on their longest road trip of the season and got a win in their first home game in nearly three weeks.

Now, a rough stretch at possibly the worst time with the regular season winding down has put the Islanders’ postseason chances in jeopardy.

After briefly moving up to second place in the Metropolitan Division, New York is just 1-4-2 in its past seven games and has dropped to fourth place.

The Islanders still hold the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, with Detroit and Philadelphia tied for the final playoff position just two points back.

“It’s frustrating a little bit,” captain John Tavares said. “Obviously it’s an important time of year and we’re not playing our best. The main thing is that we stay positive and stay together.”

The Islanders just came off a period in which they played 12 of 14 games on the road, finishing 8-4-2 after the sizzling start.

Now, after another loss, the Islanders have 11 games left in the season — including seven at home, where they are 21-9-4.

“We have to find a way to pull ourselves out of it,” right wing Kyle Okposo said. “We got to come together as a team and just bring it, play better. Right now we’re pretty inconsistent, kind of good shift, bad shift. We don’t really turn the tide and that’s what we need this time of year. “
